Mining crypto of any sort is not viable at this moment in time due to a bad market fluctuation against the cost of running the mine or buying the components (that's why the cost of graphics cards where artificially high but are now coming down to a realistic price). I have seen a room with a bank of machines, 8 graphics cards on each machine (and I am not talking cheap graphics cards here, talking Radeon 580's at £250 - £300 apiece). I am very pleased as this means graphics cards have become affordable again.When starting mining, it takes at least a month (depending on your setup) to recoup the cost of electricity and after that a long time to make any money. Then you have the massive fluctuation in value. Then you have the unregulated shady bankers and dealers in it. And so on..And on a side note, be wary of 2nd hand cards, especially if they have been in a running crypto mine as their life span may be markedly decreased...
